Ex warned not to contact woman after assault

A woman was frightened when she was struck on the head with a full 7-Up bottle by her ex-boyfriend in a shopping centre — yesterday he was warned by a sentencing judge to have no contact with her on Facebook or any social media.

Judge Olann Kelleher imposed a five-month suspended jail term on Christopher Kuhn, aged 26, of Blarney St, Cork. The judge said, having heard background victim impact evidence, it must have been a frightening experience for the woman.

He warned Kuhn to have no contact, direct or indirect, with the victim; doing so would result in him having to serve a five-month jail term. Judge Kelleher said this includes not contacting her on Facebook or by any social media.
